Meet the Team

The TECH4ALL#2 team is a continuation of the collaboration established between staff, undergraduate and postgraduate research students in the TECH4All project. To focus on digital literacy as an aspect of learning and teaching was their idea. I take credit for thinking about the notion of e-cologies.

Here is the team!
